The industrial revolution has led to an unequal and uncontrolled distribution of the toxic substances in different compartments of the environment. A large number of researchers have offered specific solution to combat the hazardous and toxic substances. The real challenge faced today is the complex interaction of the pollutants in each compartment compelling the scientists to develop materials offering one spot solution applicable to a wide range of toxicants. The present investigation is an effort to synthesize a range of different materials having multi-dimensional potential for removing diverse pollutants with general efficacy and limited specificity. Though a number of materials fall under the same category, the Zeolites and their tailored forms offer advantages such as thermal stability, low-cost, ease of availability, and high sorption affinity. Zeolites and their functionalized hybrids have attracted interest from academic and industrial laboratories due to high catalytic and exchange properties. In the present research, Zeolite as base material is synthesized from economical precursors using hydrothermal method. Post modification for synthesis of functionalized hybrids is attempted with doping of metals (Cu, Zn, and Cu/Zn), organic moieties ((Thiophene, Dibenzothiophene, and Thiophene/ Dibenzothiophene), and combination of both into the Zeolite framework. On the basis of induced functionality the eleven hybrids of Zeolite are grouped into three categories. The purpose of preparation of hybrids is to have diverse functional groups on the surface of a single Zeolite to adsorb a variety of pollutants from environmental media. The synthesized materials are subjected to a series of characterization techniques to determine surface and bulk properties for effective adsorption. The successful incorporation of the functional groups (Thiol, CH3, and Metal-Oxygen) is indicated by FTIR, BET surface area and SEM analysis proposes that crevices and channels serve as pores for uptake of incoming pollutants. Further, EDX shows silica and alumina percentage which is involved in developing zeolite framework (internal and external linkages) for binding. The thermal stability of Zeolite (360-570°C) is assessed from TGA studies. XRD demonstrates the amorphous nature of Zeolite framework that generally decreases on functionalization. Zeolite and the functionalized hybrids are applied for the removal of Metals (Hg, As), Dyes (Methylene Blue, Methyl Orange), Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (Benzene, Naphthalene, Phenanthrene, and Pyrene), Sulfur (Model Fuel, Commercial fuel) and Insecticide (Imidacloprid). For each application, closed batch adsorption protocol is followed. The results of adsorption experiments confirm the efficiency of synthesized hybrids as adsorbents for the removal of a number of pollutants. Generally, mercury showed better removal than arsenic on the adsorbents. Moreover all Zeolite based hybrids testifies the fitness of pseudo-second order kinetics & Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms for the removal of mercury and arsenic. The hybrids depict higher removal capacity for methylene blue in comparison to methyl orange. Moreover Zeolites shows good removal potential for sulphur, Imidacloprid and polyaromatic as well.

پروفیسر دُنٹ

            ماہ گزشتہ کا ایک اہم علمی حادثہ جرمنی کے نامور پروفیسر دُنٹ کی وفات ہے، پروفیسر موصوف فن نفسیات (سائیکولوجی) میں اس وقت استاذ الاساتذہ کا مرتبہ رکھتے تھے، ان کے زمانہ سے پیشتر نفسیات کو عام فلسفہ کی ایک شاخ سمجھا جاتا تھا، دنٹ ہی نے سب سے پہلے یہ بتایا کہ نفسیات بذات خود ایک مستقل فن ہے، جس کے نتائج کی بنیاد قیاس و استدلال پر نہیں بلکہ تجربات و اخبارت پر ہے، چنانچہ سب سے اول انہیں نے نفسیات کے لیے معمل (تجربہ گاہ) قائم کیا، جس میں مادی علوم کے معلموں کی طرح سارا کام تجربات کی مدد سے انجام پانے لگا اور ایک جدید فن نفسیات طبیعی (سائیکو فزکس) کی بنا ڈالی، اس کے علاوہ فلسفہ و اخلاق، منطق وغیرہ پر بھی ان کی گراں پایہ و ضخیم تصانیف ہیں، ابتداً وہ وجود روح کے منکر اور مادیت کے پیرو تھے، لیکن رفتہ رفتہ روح کے قائل اور بالآخر سخت مذہبی آدمی ہوگئے تھے، وفات کے بعد ان کی عمر ۸۸ سال سے متجاوز تھی۔ (سید سليمان ندوی،اکتوبر ۱۹۲۰ء)

 

قاسم أمين و دعوته الي تحرير المرأة من خلال ما كتبه

Qasim Amin was a lawyer as well as great Egyptian personality who promoted his progressive approach towards women’s liberation. He is known as the founder of the Women 's Liberation Movement in Egypt. As he practically initiated the Women Liberation Movement that is why he is regarded as founder-leader of the movement. For this purpose* he wrote and published his three most popular books which are: 's. Tahrir-ul-Mara’h (The Liberation of Women) Y. Al-Mara’ h — Al-Jadidah (The New Women) r. Al-Misriuoon - Difa-anil-Islam-wal-Muslimeen t. Al-Misriuoon (The Egyptians) Defense from Islam and Muslims) In this article I have tried to highlight his thoughts that are presented in his books.

An Algorithm for the Solution of Trajectory Planning for Non- Non - Holonomic Mobile Robot in Presence of Obstacles

Path planning and trajectory generation for nonholonomic mobile robot in dynamic environment is a difficult problem. It has to consider the nonholonomic constraints of robot as well as the detection and avoidance of the possible collision with dynamic obstacles. In this research an adaptive path planning technique has been proposed for mobile robot motion in an environment with dynamic obstacles. A trajectory is formulated between the starting and target positions for the three wheeled mobile robot. For this purpose kinematics and dynamic models of the mobile robot have been used. Inverse kinematics model has been developed by the wheel space technique for calculating the required wheels displacements to reach the target location. A collision-free motion of robot between its starting and goal positions is required to be executed therefore, a safe global path which is a sequence of control points is planned, incorporating the prior knowledge of environment. Artificial potential function has been implemented for calculating intermediate target positions between the initial and final position of mobile robot, to avoid obstacles in its path. A feasible global path is calculated for vthe known environment and a time based trajectory is generated. This global path is set as a reference path for the wheeled mobile robot. When dynamic obstacles moving with certain velocity come in the path of mobile robot, it has to modify the path to avoid possible collision. An algorithm is proposed in this dissertation which efficiently detects and avoids the possible collision with dynamic obstacles. This novel algorithm detects possible collision with dynamic obstacle even if its velocity is not uniform. Expected collision of obstacle coming in the path of mobile robot is detected by measuring the relative velocity of obstacle and mobile robot at each time step. The reactive scheme of algorithm is activated for changing the velocity of mobile robot to avoid the expected possible collision and the local path planner plans a modified path to be executed by the mobile robot.
